Chapter Twenty-Six: A Chance Encounter

In a clearing in the woods, Li Bai and the seahorse stood 10 meters apart from each other, and in the middle of them each rotated a mechanical disc, both of them carried a strange arm guard in their right hand, and a cable extended from the back end of the arm to connect with the disc, and there was a groove on it, and a stack of cards were inserted in the groove.

"This duel disc is the company's latest product, and it is still in the experimental stage." The seahorse stretched out his hand, and the disc that was spinning not far in front of him flew back into his hand like a large yo-yo. The top layer of the disc is a slightly angled polyhedron with four outward faces and a top, and a total of five sides have two types of card slots, horizontal and vertical, which seem to be used to place cards.

"You can try it and place the monster card in the middle of it."

Seahorse pulls out five cards from the arm guard at his wrist, picks one of them and places it on the top of the center, and then uses the force of rotation to throw the disc flat.

With a dull beast roar, an image of a minotaur in gold-red armor appeared above the disk, apparently created by the disk's projection device. Different from the projection in the duel room, the projection made by the duel plate is even larger, and the details on the monster's body are more detailed and realistic, the few willow nails and the thin seams at the weld at the junction of the Minotaur warrior's armor can be seen clearly, and the axe blade is even more chilling after being projected according to an almost 1:1 ratio.

Li Bai also drew out 5 cards when he heard this, then took back the disc, placed Jane's cards on it, and threw them out again after learning the way of a seahorse.

It was indeed different from the small projection in the dueling room, the first thing that appeared was the diamond-shaped rune, and then the glorious figure of the paladin appeared from the rune like crossing dimensions, and like the minotaur, his fineness had also improved a lot, and the patterns and carvings on the pure white armor and shield could be seen very clearly.

"Oh? Is this the new monster? Seahorse was a little surprised to see Jane's figure, it was a card he had never seen before, "If there is no other arrangement, the two monsters that are set as the main card will fight each other." ”

As soon as the words fell, the minotaur warrior slashed at the paladin with an axe, Jane's face was as expressionless as ever, and he calmly raised his left hand and calmly blocked the blow with his shield, and then his right hand took advantage of the opponent's strength to use the old sword to cut off the minotaur's head.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ The most preliminary operation is like this, the remaining 4 areas can be placed auxiliary cards, that is another rule, but it should be noted that only the main position of the card can enjoy the assistance of the auxiliary card, this principle is not difficult to understand, you can associate the auxiliary card as a similar trap card. ”

The seahorse retracted the disc a little speechlessly, he just found out that the LP set to 2000 by default was actually 400 less, which showed that the knight monster increased its attack power by 300 points at the moment of attack.

Where did she get these weird cards?

The seahorse was a little puzzled, and then shook his head and stopped thinking about it, for him, the card held by the girl was not a bad thing, and even in some ways the stronger the better.

Li Bai also smiled and put the disc back, then took out the card set and handed it back to the seahorse for him to put away.

"Where next?" The seahorse's gaze swept over the girl's right wrist, "8?" ”

"Well...... I now have 8 stars, huh? With the 4 you have now, it's enough for one of us to enter the city. Li Bai stretched out his hand and shook it in front of the seahorse, as if he was showing off that his number was twice that of the other party. After defeating the rude duelist (tall), the number of Stars has increased to 8, and only the last 2 are needed to meet the requirements for entering the city.

And Seahorse, it seems that because even if she has a heavy lottery to make a bet, she can't stand up to the prestige accumulated for a long time, and she has only just finished her first challenge when she finds him, so there are only a pitiful 4 stars at present.

"Next we'll have to find a nearby cave where there will be an underground passage to Becas City." Li Bai reverted back to a somewhat stern expression and said, "At the end of that passage, there will be two duelists guarding them, they are the minions sent by Becas to garrison there. ”

"Defeat them and get their Stars by the way, so that there should be enough Stars for us all to enter Becas City."

After clarifying the next purpose, the two of them did not waste any more time, and began to search in two directions with the open space just now as the center of the circle, so that they could meet at the other end of the diameter in the opposite direction.

Haima didn't ask Li Bai how he knew this information, partly because of his nature, and maybe because he felt that interfering too much in his sister's actions in other aspects was a stingy behavior. Now he also needs to think about the positioning of his relationship with Li Bai in the future - here refers to the relationship in the group.

Haima Group is a behemoth, and there is naturally the same dark side under the glamorous appearance, and it has gone beyond the competition within the scope of the shopping mall, both black and white are involved; Although he was a little moved by the girl's previous words, with his character, it was destined that he would not really throw these to Li Bai. He knew that she was not timid, but her vision was not low, and it was inevitable to be seen through casually, so what should she do in this way......

Walking in the woods, Seahorse Seto fell into deep thought.

At the same time, Li Bai's mood was much better, this time she could be regarded as having a good relationship with the seahorse brothers and sisters, and the relationship between the two sides was a big step, no longer a little alienated as before, but began to really look like a brother and sister.

While looking around, the girl looked at the Lower Light Path Altar with her distraction to see if there were any new tasks that had been brushed out.

The last mission brought her the Light Path Rapier, and the requirements were surprisingly simple, but the quest to arrive on Becas Island could be said to be a free gift, so she had been looking forward to the task that the altar would issue again.

"Didn't you...... It's a pity. ”

It's a pity that there are no new tasks in the altar, Li Bai regretted it slightly, and checked his soul scale value: 63. Previously, Keipin was sealed into the card in advance, and the third main story failed to deduct 2 points, which became 60. This is also because she can get an extra 2 points with VIP for each completed one, otherwise I am afraid that it will drop directly to 58. Later, the Kill Mode was turned on, allowing her to loot 1 soul every time she defeated an opponent, defeating the Assassin and 2 other duelists, and her soul scale rose to 63, which was 1 point more than she should have.

Li Bai doesn't plan to consume these souls to recruit more light path cards, even if she does, she doesn't want the soul scale to drop 50 at once, the numerical display is the function that appears after the soul scale exceeds 50, she doesn't know what this function is for the time being, but with this, it seems that 50 points will be a watershed, she doesn't dare to try rashly.

I really don't know how long it will take for the light path system to be perfected...... And the armed dragon is even more far away...... Even the Emerald Dragon is still a few times away...... The girl sighed, if she wasn't in a coma for a month, maybe she could try to figure out the armed dragon LV5 in advance - with it in hand, Bekas's demon of sacrifice would be much easier to deal with.

Li Bai was thinking about the future direction, the sound behind her interrupted her train of thought, although she had the intention to dodge, but the body reaction that had been lying for a month to recover could not keep up with the speed of her consciousness, Li Bai only felt that she was suddenly strangled by one arm around her neck, and the other hand covered her mouth, so she was held hostage to identify a direction!

"Woo!" Damn it...... Which brainless person is this, who dares to use force in the kingdom? Li Bai was really shocked, twisted his neck and wanted to get rid of the other party's control; But soon she found that it was futile, the other party was a strong β™‚ adult man, and with her little strength there was no possibility of getting out, so she symbolically struggled twice and then did not move, temporarily resigned to the other party's strength to drag her on.

I don't know what this guy is trying to do...... Li Bai's heart was full of residual thoughts, she only hoped that it would not be the worst result, it would be hairy like that......

At this time, she can feel that it is indeed very unpleasant to change to a female identity, if it is still the body she used to be, not to mention that she can defeat this guy, at least she will not be dragged away without strength like now.

The captor led her through an unusually dense bush quickly, and Li Bai's eyes lit up, not only because she saw what she was trying to find in front of herβ€”a highly hidden cave, but also because the moment she saw the cave, she remembered a plot similar to her current situation, and her hanging heart was relaxed.

Calm down...... Even the kind of stunned people in the city have been dragged here, and it seems that there is nothing to be ashamed of when I am dragged here...... Li Bai comforted his pitiful self-esteem in his heart.

But she forgot one thing...... That is, when the hijacking of the city, the other party dispatched a full three people, and they also attacked while he was booing.

Walking through the narrow cave, a dueling room appeared in front of the two of them, and the man pushed Li Bai in, then slammed the door shut, turned his head to the other side and shouted, "Boss! I've caught another prey! ”

Li Bai got up from the cold table, glared at the man fiercely, and then began to look at the rotten environment...... I have to say that although she understood this when she saw the entrance of the cave, she was still a little scared when she really looked at the naked white skeletons outside the transparent glass.

…… This is the graveyard area, where undead monsters will get a power bonus.

"Hahaha, well done, it looks like the four of us are one step closer to the huge prize money in Bekass City." A manic voice sounded from the darkness, Li Bai looked at the seat on the other side, and found that there was already a short man with a withered face, who was smiling incessantly at her at the moment, and behind him stood two other men outside the glass, one with broken blonde hair and sunglasses, and the other who looked stronger wrapped his hair in a bandana made of the Star-Spangled Banner, and also wore a pair of sunglasses; That's what he just said.

The man who held Li Bai hostage heard him praise himself and immediately showed a smirk - he didn't wear sunglasses, but his hairstyle was the ugliest in Li Bai's eyes, just like a broken broom.

Keith...... It was the name of the man who had just spoken, the former king of the American Magic Poker bounty, who was dubbed the "thief" because of the efficiency of the tournament bounty. After being teased by Bekas, he abandoned the last vestiges of his duelist conscience and began to live for the sake of purpose, with twelve pockets in his black leather jacket, each with a deck of cards, far more than the 40 required by the rules of the tournament, and he used these cards to gather a group of his subordinates, and strengthened their decks to capture the lone duelist to defeat and capture the Star, intending to take all the spots.

Meantime...... This time, he also came to the competition with the idea of revenge against Bekas, and at the worst of all, he planned to get the 200,000 US dollars.

"The woman over there! Do you see the current form? Keith smiled and said to Li Bai, "As you can see, there are four strong β™‚ men on our side, and it is impossible for you to escape, so you must agree to any terms β™‚ we propose." ”

"This is the Graveyard Territory, you have to fight us in this dueling room, and there is only one way to get out of here, and that is to lose all your stars!"

"That's right! You'll have to defeat me before you can escape! The ghost bone mound is the short man on the other side, Hehe sneered and threatened, in his opinion, the girl in front of him is simply a poor moth that has fallen into a spider's web...... They haven't lost their decks since they've been buffed by Keith's cards!

In the original plot, it was the castle that was forced to duel with this dwarf, and it seems that Li Bai became the target of their hunt because he was alone and did not have the glowing body of the seahorse by his side.

"Wait a minute? Something is a little wrong? Thief Keith interrupted the others' laughter, his sunglasses slipping off quite a bit in surprise, "This woman doesn't have an abnormal number of stars!" ”

"What? Abnormal? The other three people were shocked when they heard this, and they all looked at Li Bai's wrist, and then they couldn't laugh anymore.

"8 Stars......" Keith took off his sunglasses and yelled at the broken broomstick, "Idiot! Don't you even look at your target beforehand! ”

In his opinion, this is very incredible, the competition started at noon yesterday and lasted for most of the day, because there is still some "tuition" to pay for the new rules of the competition, most duelists can have 4-5 stars at this moment, and the duelists who can get 8 stars at noon the next day...... Keith looked at the white-haired girl in front of him, and although he was a little skeptical, his always cautious personality decided to take the matter seriously.

"The rule must be to bet on the same number of stars, Onizuka, you don't have enough stars!"

Keith's words made Li Bai frown - the rules are true, but her number of stars has reached 8, and in the case of only 2, she naturally only needs to take out 2 as bets, so it is very intriguing for him to say this.

Looks like this guy doesn't want to give me any chance? Want to take all my stars at once? Li Bai looked at Keith.

If she guessed correctly, this duel was probably going to be replaced.

Sure enough, while the others were in shock, Keith walked into the dueling room, stretched out his hand to the ghost bone mound and said, "Give me your star badge!" ”

"Let me do this duel!"
